...green tie? "Just a coincidence," chuckled the consort. Thus avoiding controversy and the I.R.A., Philip continued his U.S. tour to promote Variety Clubs International charities and British exports, proving himself quite a salesman while firmly denying that that was his mission. "Any country that can sell tea sets to Russians, export one million bedstead knobs in 1964 and persuade foreigners to buy water from Glasgow can be relied upon to sell anything," he commercialized at a luncheon. As New York's Senator Jacob Javits, a bit mixed up on titles, proclaimed: "He's a very relaxed monarch...

I suspect that one scene, where some Negro officials sit around sipping tea, is built almost entirely of phrases from English textbooks--"Pass the sugar," and so forth--and hence is an in-joke for any educated Frenchman...

After a tea party for parliamentary wives, former Tory Defense Minister Douglas Harkness stormed into the House to demand that Cardin prove his "statements, insinuations and allegations" or resign. "Let him go home to his wife and family and endure what we have to endure," chimed in another Tory, and only some fast political footwork headed off a no-confidence motion that might well have brought down Pearson's minority government on the spot...
